The Unknown Man

Brian Kelly, best known at Porter Ricks on the TV series "Flipper", died 10 years ago today aged 73 due to pneumonia. Also, comic actor Sid Caesar died a year ago today at age 91.

That will be a hit for three teams on the DDP when the right obit comes.

I'll go for March 5.

Philip Seymour Hoffman, who starred in films such as The Big Lebowski, died a year ago today aged 46.

468 years ago today, Henry VIII, King of England, died at age 55.
